-- TO MY FRIENDS --
Let's be mindful of our attitude
and behaviour towards others,
and try to be expressive
and try to be expressive
of our gratitude towards them, too.
It's the accumulation of those small acts of sincerity
that result in the blossoming of great blooms of trust.
Let's all become the Ambassadors of Soka!

"As leaders of the Bodhisattvas of the Earth, we have stepped forth into this saha world together with our countless fellow members as well as family, friends, and others with whom we share a profound connection. Through powerful prayer and confident dialogue, we cannot fail to call forth even more of those who are linked to us by deep karmic bonds. 'Developing youth' is nothing other than revitalising and developing our own youthful life state and limitlessly expanding the number of fellow Bodhisattvas of the Earth into the future.
"Let us proudly show the world the victories of our human revolution, the brilliant unity of our network of capable individuals, and the nobility of our lives as Bodhisattvas of the Earth dedicated to kosen-rufu. Let us continue to spread hope-filled dialogues and advance in harmony and high spirits to pave the way to realising a great transformation in the life state of all humankind."
